I am a stay at home mother of two boys and an fledgling entrepreneur. I needed to come up with a creative way to be productive while at the same time taking care of my kids.

The schedule rotates, so everyone has an opportunity to get work done. Parents can not …

This is a meetup for second-time parents. I've been there, I've done the first-time-mom's, group. We're still running strong. But what about my second child? There will be no latte-sipping on luxurious cafe couches while discussing the latest stroller colours and wondering what my hair will look like in the birthing pictures. Nope. I need a support group that can discuss sibling rivalry issues while pushing a swing, covered in peanut butter, with one eye on the sand box. We'll meet in child-frie …
